Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is LTL freight and how does it work for Latvia shipments?
LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight is a shipping method where multiple shipments from different customers share space on the same truck. For Latvia shipments, we collect goods from various European locations during the week, consolidate them at our hub, and dispatch full trucks to our Riga terminal on Fridays. This makes shipping more cost-effective for smaller volumes.
Q.Which countries do you offer weekly LTL services from?
We offer weekly LTL groupage services from Germany (collection warehouse in Frankfurt), Spain (Barcelona), France (Paris), and Italy (Milan). Each route has scheduled Friday departures with reliable transit times ranging from 17 to 29 hours depending on origin.
Q.Can you deliver to customers without a loading ramp?
Yes! We operate trucks equipped with tail lifts (hydraulic lift gates) that can handle deliveries to customers without loading ramps. For larger shipments, we can arrange direct delivery with tilt trucks if you have forklift loading/unloading capability at your premises.
Q.Do you handle temperature-controlled and dangerous goods?
Absolutely. We transport temperature-controlled shipments with proper refrigerated equipment and handle ADR dangerous goods with certified drivers and compliant vehicles. All DG shipments require proper documentation including MSDS and DG declarations.
Q.What are the benefits of LTL vs FTL shipping?
LTL offers significant cost savings for smaller shipments (1-10 pallets), flexible scheduling with weekly departures, and shared environmental impact. FTL (Full Truckload) is better for larger volumes, time-critical cargo, and when you need dedicated vehicle security. We help you choose the optimal solution based on your cargo volume and urgency.
Q.How long does LTL delivery from Frankfurt to Latvia take?
Our Frankfurt to Riga LTL service covers approximately 1,747 km with transit time around 17-18 hours. Including collection and distribution, total door-to-door delivery is typically 3-5 working days. Friday departures arrive in Riga for Monday/Tuesday distribution.
